    ABSTRACT:: Initial-boundary value problems for several systems of
               partial differential equations from fluid dynamics are
               discussed. Both rigid wall and open boundary problems are
               treated. Boundary conditions are formulated and shown to
               yield well-posed problems for the Eulerian equations for gas
               dynamics, the shallow-water equations, and linearized
               constant coefficient versions of the incompressible,
               anelastic equations. The "primitive" hydrostatic
               meteorological equations are shown to be ill-posed with any
               specification of local, pointwise boundary conditions.
               Analysis of simplified versions of this system illustrates
               the mechanism responsible for ill-posedness.
